WE’RE TRUSTX

TrustX is a cooperative private marketplace. We are a collaboration platform where marketers and publishers can create innovative advertising solutions that drive measurable value and improve the consumer experience. We’re where buyers and sellers trade with confidence and safety at scale.

WE’RE DIFFERENT

Born from the ambitions of the most trusted media brands on the planet, we’re distinctive from other alliances in that we are singularly focused on rebuilding trust and transparency in programmatic advertising. We are a public benefit corp (B-Corp), and we’re wholly-owned by the non-profit premium publisher trade association, Digital Content Next. We have no outside shareholders and no profit motives. Everything we do is designed to drive long-term benefits to high-quality marketers, content publishers and consumers.

Period. Full stop.
